Garry’s Mod October Update Adds Arsonist Option, Fixes Bugs

Garry’s mod has been around for quite some time now – 14 years to be exact. Since then, Face Punch has continuously been ironing out bugs and adding (small) features to a game that is an essential for any Steam user. addon after addon has kept the game alive and will most likely do so for the next millennium. Earlier last week, Facepunch unveiled the latest changes which are due out this Wednesday. These include everything from minor bug fixes to being able to set NPCs on fire. Below is a full list of the changes:

Fixed nav file error 4 (out of date) being displayed when the nav file is in fact up to date

Updated surfaceproperites.txt to remove some entries to fit the 128 entry limit

It’s worth noting that not all changes seen in this list will be featured in the update. If you wish to try this update now, navigate to the beta tab on the game’s properties and select the ‘Pre-Release’ branch.

While an update is always welcome, questions have sprung up about the state of mods will work with the latest version as mods are effectively the life and soul of the game. Facepunch has given no comment on this issue. Fans were also angry to see a HTML 5 bug which disables watching videos has been in the game for quite some time now and players are frustrated to say the very least.

Started as a mod for Half Life 2 in 2004, Garry’s Mod quickly became one of the best selling PC games of all time thanks to its sandbox gameplay and mountains of mods. Today, thousands still play popular game modes such as DarkRP and TTT while some choose to play with friends (or alone) with thousands upon thousands of mods (known as addons) at their disposal. Theoretically, you can do anything in Gmod provided there’s an addon for it.
